Who can enter the draw?

Entrants to the transnational lottery must be at least 18 years old and buy their tickets in one of the nine European countries.

Where is EuroMillions played?

EuroMillions is a lottery played across nine European countries - the UK, Ireland, Spain, France, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal and Switzerland. The game launched on 7th February, 2004, and has now had over 1,000 draws.

How is the prize calculated?

The jackpot begins at €17 million, which is different in Sterling depending on the exchange rate on draw day, and can increase up to a maximum value of €240 million.

How to play EuroMillions

The draw takes place every Tuesday and Friday evening at 8pm. Players have to choose five main numbers from 1 to 50, along with two Lucky Stars between 1 and 12.

You can either pick the numbers yourself, purchase a Lucky Dip or use a random number generator to create an entry.

You can enter up to seven lines on a single play slip at a UK retailer.

Purchase your entries before the cutoff time for that draw.

Relax and wait for the results!
